Sleep Inn & Suites Near Liberty Place I-65

I chose Sleep Inn at Liberty Place because I had an early morning meeting in Evergreen and I wanted to avoid leaving Tuscaloosa at 5am to get there on time. I got the proximity I was looking for, but not much else. The doors to the hotel do not open automatically, which is inconvenient given that the luggage carts are unwieldy and I am walking with a cane. I don't know how someone in a wheelchair would actually get into the hotel if they came in after hours. The front desk clerks were very pleasant and efficient at check-in and check-out. The lobby furniture is discolored and worn. The signs in the elevator have clearly been there a long time, since they are peeling off the wall a little. Light fixtures and other decor items in my room were tarnished/rusted. One of the electrical outlets in the room doesn't work. The fan blew continuously, even after I turned the temperature up. However, increasing the temperature of the blowing air meant that the room felt damp. I did not feel comfortable removing my shoes in the room, and skipped my exercise routine Thursday morning (I am recovering from knee surgery), as lying on the floor seemed inadvisable. The surface of the main furniture console was spotted and looked and felt dirty. The desk chair was dirty underneath and did not adjust for height, so the work space was not comfortable for me. The door handle on one of the main console cabinets was broken. One of the drawers continuously slid open on its own. The frame of the bathroom mirror was damaged. The toilet lid and seat were raised when I arrived, and there was a ring in the toilet. The bed linens were fresh and clean, as were the towels. The accent color on the wall and the photo montage over the bed were very pleasant. The faux leather cover for the box springs was dirty and worn. Overall, I don't feel I got value for the $117/night charged. I am returning to the area in two weeks for several days, and I have already made other accommodation arrangements.

Not the worst, not the best

The desk person needs a lesson on customer 101. Just didn’t seem like he didn’t like his job. But I can say he was nice.

Very clean & comfortable room. Staff was great & willing to help with even the smallest things. Lots of restaurant choices within walking distance for a small town

Definitely needs a good cleaning though out the common areas. Bed was fairly comfortable. Probably would not stay again.

******* gave the hotel the wrong dates for my stay. Fortunately the hotel staff corrected it. Check-in was January 13th ******* told the hotel it was January 14th. Even though ******* sent me an email with the correct check in and check out dates they provided the hotel with incorrect date.

Wanted a wake up call but phone in our room did not work. Alarm clock switches were worn out so we couldn't rely on it either. used our cell phone to wake up. Breakfast was good.

The bathroom door had a big hole in it, from someone kicking it or whatever. Water spays out of faucet when using shower, mold or what looks like it in tube area with white chalking coming out from tub. I found socks from someone else in the room in the corner of the room. Lamps sheds turning yellow or torn. heater by window has all buttons pushed in and simply looks like hell no note to tell you to use the thermostat instead. NO ICE IN THE HOTEL, AND ONLY THREE PEOPLE CAN RIDE IN THE ELEVATOR AT one time, or maybe the rest of you just jump out the window. I asked for another room and it was far better. NO POINT that i make is this, management knows this and they and all that is important to them is your money. I paid over hundred dollar or more for this one night .

We needed to stop to rest before continuing to our destination - it was Christmas Eve and this hotel was the perfect spot. Not only was it a great stopping point and area, the hotel was decorated beautifully for the holidays, so cozy, pretty and the staff were so friendly, too. At breakfast, we were greeted with a big Merry Christmas and sweet smile from the staff member who was working that area - real Christmas morning CHEER!
